You can also just watch the games instead and see that the line is lacking a top 6 center.

It’s crazy to me that DeBrincat is so bad defensively in the numbers. I felt like there was a good stretch of the season I was being forgiving of his lack of goal scoring because he was doing other good things on the ice but those numbers say otherwise.

People focus so much on stats these days. Anyone that watches Ottawa every night knows that Pinto isn’t a top 6 C. DeBrincat having those defensive stats is also is different from the eye test for me because I think he’s our most or second most responsible top 6 winger. He always backchecks really hard and I see him retrieve more pucks than the others.

If you care about what goes into the numbers, xGAR on offense is more influenced by finishing which is why Pinto ranks much higher than Cat. GAR focusses more on traditional play-driving, where Cat ranks mediocre but Pinto is below replacement level offensively

Cat was supposed to be a line driver. All his plays this year shows is how much he needs someone as good as Kane.
Dude is worth $7.5 million at most and I hope we aren’t stuck overpaying him

Pinto has good decent finish but he doesn’t use his linemate well
Stuztle really elevates guys like Brady and batherson rn
